How to Choose the Right Plant for Your Space

Choosing a plant isn’t just about looks — it’s about finding the perfect fit for your home’s light, climate, and lifestyle. Here’s how to make the right choice:

1. Consider the Light

• Bright, Direct Light: Succulents, cacti, aloe vera.

• Bright, Indirect Light: Fiddle leaf fig, monstera, peace lily.

• Low Light: ZZ plant, snake plant, pothos.

2. Think About Maintenance

If you travel often or forget to water, choose drought-tolerant plants like sansevieria or ZZ plant. If you enjoy tending to plants, ferns and orchids might be perfect for you.

3. Match the Aesthetic

• Minimalist home? Go for sleek snake plants or peace lilies.

• Boho vibes? Try trailing pothos or hanging spider plants.

• Modern jungle? Add bold monstera or fiddle leaf fig.

4. Factor in Pets 🐾

Some plants are toxic to pets. Always check before bringing a plant home. Safe options include areca palms, calatheas, and parlor palms.

Pro Tip: Start with one or two plants and see how they thrive in your space before adding more. This way, you learn their needs without feeling overwhelmed.
